FreeBSD servers uptime Poll

Mon, Jul 21, 2008

FreeBSD is known to be a very reliable and rock-solid server operating system; You only need to check netcraft.com for systems with the longest uptime, and you’ll notice that in today’s top there are 7 servers running FreeBSD out of the top 10 (stats correct 21/07/08).

Just out of interest, if you run a FreeBSD server, how long has your server been running without reboot? If you have more than 1 servers, let’s know about the server with the longest uptime.

I hesitate to admit this, because what it usually really means is that you have a system in dire need of security patches. :/ But, there’s this:

$ uptime
8:37AM up 1605 days, 18:30, 1 user, load averages: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
$ ls -l /var/run/dmesg.boot
-rw-r–r– 1 root wheel 8781 Feb 27 2004 /var/run/dmesg.boot

At a company I used to work at, we had a site that had a rack of freebsd 4.4 servers (that were only decommissioned late last year!) . They had an uptime of well over 1400 days. The only that didn’t had a hardware failure (the infamous dell 1650 ATI chip problem).
